I think you should have a pap test, to clear things out

Fishy Smell
Posted: 11-05-05 06:54am

The first time I had a fishy smell after sex I was diagnosed with baterical vaginosis. Sometimes when you have sex your ph levels change. I purchased a book called the v book by elizabeth g stewart. Ladies this book is excellent on educating you on you vagina. When I was diagnosed I was given metrogel, basically you insert the gel into the vagina for 5-7 days or u might be given oral med called metrodonizle aka flagyl. I recommend going to the herbal store too for suggestions as well. Please see you doctor for the correct diagnoses.

After sex the odor is tolerable and does not smells fishy, I think you have a bacteria in you, I have experined that before and my pap test revealed that I have vaginosis. My Dr. Gave me 1 week medicationto to be inserted the name of the med is neo-penotran.

I dont thinkthere is anything wrong with me...Because its only when I have semen leaking out hours later...I may go 5 days without intercourse and have no unusual smell at all...Oh well I think it will be okay.

Hey lily, you think you're okay but it sounds like bacterial vaginosis. I had it before, and my Dr. Told me all about it. He said the semen and the bacteria mixing together is what caused the smell. A fishy smell is never normal. Get it checked out.

Ummm I dunno I really hate going to the doctor but if it doesnt go away I guess I will have too...If I have bacterial vaginosis will it keep me from getting pregnant or whatever?

It's normal...It's happened to me and my boyfriend before...Usually when we have a lot of sex. My gyno said i'm perfectly fine and that it's just one of those things. My advice: take a shower (preferably with whoever you just had sex with!) and change your clothes afterward.

If it is a very strong bad fishy smell then you probably have an infection. Go to your doctor just to be on the safe side.

I had that happen before, I was pregnant at the time and it was a bacterial infection. Does have to do with ph levels. Go to the doctor, its not a pleasent situation to be in.

Fishy Is Never Good...
Posted: 01-30-06 00:08am

I had the exact same symptoms and they would go away and then come back and finally I got tired of it and went to the doctor and it was bacterial vaginosis... Here are some facts off the web...

Women with bv may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse. Discharge, if present, is usually white or gray; it can be thin. Women with bv may also have burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina, or both. Some women with bv report no signs or symptoms at all.

Having bv has been associated with an increase in the development of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid)

although bv will sometimes clear up without treatment, all women with symptoms of bv should be treated to avoid such complications as pid. Male partners generally do not need to be treated. However, bv may spread between female sex partners.

Treatment is especially important for pregnant women. All pregnant women who have ever had a premature delivery or low birth weight baby should be considered for a bv examination, regardless of symptoms, and should be treated if they have bv. All pregnant women who have symptoms of bv should be checked and treated.

I don't think its normal to be smell fishy.. this happend to me before and I went to my doc to have me check-up and she give me the meds and she told me to use it for about a week. Actually she give me 2 kinds of medicine and after that the fishy smell is gone and even now its almost 7 months the last time I used it (the meds) the smell never came back even after we have sex. You should go to the doctor..
Somebody mention about the Neo-Penotran here, but you can't buy it in USA bec. its not in here at all..
